GOOD ROADS SCHEME

PROPOSALS OF PETONE BOROUGH

Good roads generally, and bitumen roads in particular, are discussed at all meetings of all local bodies in the Wellington district just at present, and so it was also at last evening's meeting of the Petono Borough Council, the scheme for the extension of the Hutt road surface put forward by the Wellington City Council, and adopted, with certain amendments, by a conference of delegates, from local bodies heing further considered. The scheme was fully ex. plained by the Mayor, Mr. J \\T M'Ewan.

Councillor Cook expressed the opinion that the city had, in its six members, been given undue representation on the Hutt Road Board.

The following recommendation of the Works Committee of the council was adopted-.—"The council is recommended to agree to the general principles of the scheme as submitted by its representative at the conference' iof local bodies recently held in Wellington, and that for the second year the work to be undertaken in Petoiie be the laying of the track along the Esplanade to Cuba street, and up Cuba street to Wakefield street. The committee does n^t consider it necessary that -tile council having made arrangements for the lighting of its streets, should avail itself of the board's offer to provide the necessary lighting along the bitumen track."
